MEDICIS Internal Notes

Imaging of iron metabolismIron is an essential and critical trace metal in the human body as it is involved in many vital processes like oxygen transport and redox reactions. However, excess iron is toxic and can cause oxidative stress (Dev, 2017). [...] MED-023.-

No-carrier-added 169Er production at MEDICIS from target irradiated at ILLIntroduction & background: (state of the art and goal/motivation for the project) To date, 169Er (carrier-added) is used for the treatment of chronic rheumatoid arthritis in order to eliminate diseased synovium through irradiation and to improve joint function [1, 2]. However, its decay properties (T1/2 = 9.4 d, Eβmean = 219 keV) are very promising for radionuclide therapy of metastasized cancer diseases. [...] MED-018.-

Theranostic radiolabeled nanoparticles for ovarian cancer by folate receptor targetingPatients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) are frequently diagnosed at stage III/IV with widespread peritoneal carcinomatosis, and have a poor overall survival [1]. Because of current screening techniques do not provide early diagnoses of small volume disease, new methods that enhance the detection and treatment of EOC are needed to improve the prognosis of this type of patients.
